  • Japan Between the Wars
    JAPAN BETWEEN THE WARS The Meiji era was not followed by as neat and logical a periodi- zation. The Emperor Meiji (his era name was conflated with his person posthumously) symbolized the changes of his period so perfectly that at his death in July 1912 there was a clear sense that an era had come to an end. His successor, who was assigned the era name Taisho¯ (Great Righteousness), was never well, and demonstrated such embarrassing indications of mental illness that his son Hirohito succeeded him as regent in 1922 and re- mained in that office until his father’s death in 1926, when the era name was changed to Sho¯wa. The 1920s are often referred to as the “Taisho¯ period,” but the Taisho¯ emperor was in nominal charge only until 1922; he was unimportant in life and his death was irrelevant. Far better, then, to consider the quarter century between the Russo-Japanese War and the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident of 1931 as the next era of modern Japanese history. There is overlap at both ends, with Meiji and with the resur- gence of the military, but the years in question mark important developments in every aspect of Japanese life. They are also years of irony and paradox. Japan achieved success in joining the Great Powers and reached imperial status just as the territo- rial grabs that distinguished nineteenth-century imperialism came to an end, and its image changed with dramatic swiftness from that of newly founded empire to stubborn advocate of imperial privilege. Its military and naval might approached world standards just as those standards were about to change, and not long before the disaster of World War I produced revul- sion from armament and substituted enthusiasm for arms limi- tations.

  • Alberta Strengthens Economic and Cultural Ties in Asia Minister Evans to Further Korea and Japan Relations
    November 1, 2010 Alberta strengthens economic and cultural ties in Asia Minister Evans to further Korea and Japan relations Edmonton... International and Intergovernmental Relations Minister Iris Evans will promote Alberta’s economic, intergovernmental and cultural relationships in key Asian markets November 4-15. “Korea and Japan are strong trading partners with Alberta, and Asian investment has helped drive Alberta’s oil sands development,” said Minister Evans. “This mission is an important opportunity to provide government and industry with an update on Alberta’s clean energy story.” While in Korea, Minister Evans will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, a move that will further encourage economic cooperation in the energy sector. Other highlights of the mission include meetings with top ranking government officials in both Korea and Japan’s foreign affairs and trade ministries. Minister Evans will also participate in the Hokkaido Regional Leaders Forum in Japan, and meet with the Canadian Ambassadors to both Korea and Japan. Speaking engagements include a guest lecture at Meiji University in Tokyo and a presentation to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Korea. This mission builds on the work of earlier New West Partnership (NWP) missions by Premier Ed Stelmach, as well as agriculture ministers, who promoted trade and commerce opportunities between Western Canada and Asia. Minister Evans will continue to emphasize the importance of the NWP and hold follow-up meetings with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Minister Evans will also take part in two special anniversaries while in Japan.

  • Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life
    Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life Professor Annmaria Shimabuku East Asia Seminar Series Lent 2019 At the University of Cambridge “How long will Okinawa have to wait before the doors of government? How long will Okinawa have to wait before the gates of law?” –Governor Denny Tamaki This elegy was sung by the first mixed-race governor elected in the state of Japan from Okinawa Prefecture, Governor Denny Tamaki, during his 2018 visit to the U.S. He points to Okinawa’s historical waiting before sovereign power, almost there, but ultimately denied entry. Today, Okinawa is neither a colony of the U.S. or Japan, nor is it an equal part of the Japanese state. It hangs ambiguously in a liminal space between sovereignty’s absence and presence. This talk is based on Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life (Fordham University Press, 2018) and looks forward to a second monograph on Okinawa’s premier female novelist, Sakiyama Tami. Instead of forcing Okinawa to become intelligible through the channels of the nation-state system in hopes of gaining entry into the sovereign world, I ask how life and language in the liminal space before sovereign power can re-define our notion of the political itself. How can we think of an ambiguous entity that is not unified, always changing, and even contradictory, as having political agency? This is precisely the zone of alegality and the politics of life (i.e., biopolitics) at stake in reading Okinawan women of the U.S. military base towns and their mixed-race children who have been traditionally alienated from ideologically-driven politics.
